Widening the scope of your separation: The Centrifuge CP-NX Series. The flagship of our ultracentrifuge portfolio has been designed to make ultracentrifugation as safe and convenient as possible. With speeds of up to 803,000 x g (100,000 rpm), it is the optimal solution for nucleic acids, proteins, protein complexes, vesicles and viruses, just to name a few.
Versatile Rotor CompatibilityThe CP100NX ultracentrifuge accommodates swinging-bucket, fixed-angle, and vertical rotors, providing flexibility for a wide range of laboratory protocols. With a capacity of up to 6 x 94 ml (depending on the rotor), the system easily adapts to differing sample volumes and experiment requirements, ensuring optimal results every time.
Advanced Safety and User-Friendly FeaturesWith automatic rotor recognition, imbalance detection, and a secure door interlock system, this centrifuge delivers superior safety for users. Its large LCD display and intuitive touch panel streamline operation, allowing easy adjustment of parameters such as timer settings, acceleration/deceleration profiles, and temperature control.
Eco-Friendly and Quiet OperationEquipped with a CFC-free, eco-friendly refrigerant and efficient noise reduction technology, the CP100NX ultracentrifuge operates at a low sound level of 57 dB(A). This promotes a more comfortable working environment and supports laboratories looking for sustainable equipment solutions.
FAQ's of Eppendorf Centrifuge CP100NX- Ultracentrifuge:
